Guo Liang Wei: K♣K♦

The board ran out J♠Q♥A♠8♣6♥. Wei's pocket kings were good at showdown and he took the pot while sending Saltik to the rail.

Zelenkin Leaves Savenkov with Crumbs after Brutal Cooler

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ryan Lashmar

Level 24 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Denis Zelenkin opened, Alexey Savenkov three-bet and Denis Zelenkin four-bet shoved for just under 8,000,000. Savenkov, who covered Zelenkin, made the call.

Denis Zelenkin: A♣4♣ All in
Alexey Savenkov: AxKx

Zelenkin was in big trouble after being caught with a smaller ace but he 6♣9♣5♣ flop gave him the nut-flush leaving his opponent drawing dead. The 3♣ turn and 4♥ river were a mere formality after which Zelenkin dragged in a pot worth nearly three times the chip average while Savenkov was left with roughly ten big blinds.

Langar Pulls Ahead on the River

Level 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Milad Langar opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Georgios Tsouloftas defended from the big blind.

The flop came J♥J♦3♣ and Tsouloftas led out with a bet of 225,000 that was called by Langar.

Tsouloftas fired another barrel on the 9♥ turn, this time for 525,000. Once again Langar made the call.

Both players checked the 8♥ river. Tsouloftas could only show K♣4♣ for a bluff but Langar showed 10♣8♣ and was actually behind the whole way with a draw until connected with his eight on the river to take the pot.
